Industrial Committee plans video to promote area
Plans for the production of a
video tape of the village of Brussels
and surrounding areas were dis
closed last Wednesday by Keith
Mulvey, newly-appointed member
of the Brussels Industrial Com
mittee, speaking at the Brussels
ratepayers’ meeting held in recog
nition of Local Government Week.
The tape, which will run for
20-30 minutes, will be designed to
be used in promoting the area to
potential investors and light in
dustry which may be interested in
establishing in the village, Mr.
possession a similar tape used in
promoting Kingston, and offered to
show it to anyone who was in
terested.
Mulvey said. He told those atten
ding the meeting that he had in his
“If we (the Industrial Com
mittee) go anywhere, the first thing
people says is ‘what have you got to
offer,’” Mr. Mulvey explained.
Entertainment
Mr. Mulvey and video cam
eraman Gerry Wheeler of Brussels
will be the basis of the tape’s
production crew, but both said they
would welcome input and assis
tance from anyone. They hope to
be able to hire a helicopter to take
aerial views of the region, and to
tape short interviews with various
people who have recently esta
blished in Brussels, asking them to
give their reasons for choosing to
come to the community. As well,
the committee will talk to people in
the surrounding hamlets, such as
Walton, Ethel, Cranbrook and Bel

Chapman impressed with Blyth audience
With single ticket sales set to
start May 4, Blyth Festival officials
say that business looks equally
brisk with last year when sales
records were set.
Interest in the five plays being
offered is evenly spread, the Fes-
tival reports with ticket sales for
Bordertown Cafe by Kelly Rebar
slightly in the lead, closely follow
ed by Miss Balmoral of the Bay
view by Colleen Curran (author of
such hits as Cake-Walk and
Moose County).
Tim Chapman, new Festival
general manager is impressed with
the loyalty and trust of the Blyth
audience. “We’re doing four com
pletely new plays this year, plus a
repeat from 1986. This is much
riskier than putting on a production
that has already been a hit, say, on
Broadway.” Festival patrons, how
ever, he says, don’t wait to see the
reviews of the plays before buying
their tickets.
Rural education aim of Women's institute
The aim of education for rural
women was one of the main ideas
behind the establishment of The
Women’s Institute 90 years ago.
Although the topics covered have
changed over the years the princi
ple hasn’t.
Each Women’s Institute branch
organizes their own programme to
suit the interest of their members.
In the past year one branch has had
speakers or programmes on the
following: colours and scarf tying.
The Associated Country Women of
the World Conference in Ireland,
Zoning restrictions doser
the treatment and care of crippled
and handicapped children, paint
ing of pottery, cooking Ontario
Food in theMicrowave, touring the
farms in the County, agriculture in
the classroom, Free Trade, New
Zealand, care of children in the
Children’s Hospital of Western
Ontario, Family Law Act, adoption
and how to become a Canadian
citizen, cooking and preparing
beef, preparing meals quickly.
By attending workshops on a
county basis other topics were
covered, including Prince Edward
Island, geneology, job sharing,
effective parenting, positive think
ing, planning awardrobe, exer
cise, resume writing, job search
ing, starting a business, how to
manage drugs and more.

and relevant. Often topics covered
at W.I. meetings are featured as
stories in the media at a later date
e.g. job sharing, organ trans
plants.
If you want to belong to an
organization that has proven that
the principle of education of rural
women with up to date topics is as
relevanttoday asitwas90years
ago, join a Women’s Institute.
Within the London Area there are
114 branches. The Ontario Mini
stry of Agriculture and Food will be
able to tell you where the nearest
branch is.

Last year at the London Area
meeting the theme speaker was on
the safe disposal of Nuclear Waste.
Theyear before it was on Organ
Transplants.
So the topics that are covered by
Women’s Institute are up to date
By-law gets cautious approval
Despite reservations on the
part of most councillors, Blyth
village council passed a resolution
at its April 14 meeting asking the
Huron County Planning and
Development Office to proceed
with completion of the Compre
hensive Zoning By-law for the
village.
While the village has had a
Secondary Plan for several years it
has dragged its feet in taking the
final step of the Zoning by-law. The
village’s application for the Ontario
government’s Pride grant program
for village improvement, however,
requires that it have a comprehen
sive zoning by-law.
The Pride grant is the carrot
on the end of the stick that is selling
away their freedom, Councillor
William Manning told the other
councillors.
Reeve Albert Wasson termed
the by-law something that was
Pro-life meeting
planned for
April 29
The 13th annual dinner meeting
was the main topic of discussion at
the April meeting of the Wingham
and Area pro-life group, 13 Board
members present.
The dinner meeting will be held
at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian
Church in Wingham, at 7 p.m. on
Wednesday, April29. Don Pen
nell, interim organizer of the new
provincia[pro-life, pro-family
party, the Family Coalition Party,
will be guest speaker. The dinner is
open to everyone. Tickets at $7 per

members or by calling 357-2162.
The group continues to provide
literature for students doing pro
jects on abortion. The fetal models
and the McGoey films (Family Life
Film Series) have been requested
by area schools.
“eroding any authority we might
have.” Reeve Wasson said “This is
the step that I have been dreading
myself. I’ve been trying for 10
years to find some way around it
but haven’t found anyway around
it.” he said.
Still, with knowledge that the
village’s application had made it
through the first round of the
government selection program,
council approved the resolution to
ask the planning department to
finish the plan.
